Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GlitchyAme Ame/Oreo (@GlitchyAme) reported

    @overwatchleague @PlayOverwatch the one credit i will give overwatch rn is they finally addressed the missing skins issue i FINALLY after all these weeks have access to ALL of my skins.

  • syncearts nathansynce (@syncearts) reported

    one day i will queue overwatch and not get dogshit teammates who get 2k damage on sojourn, a literal broken character. or a ******* tank who isnt playing with a broken mouse in comp

  • ZakyTbaby Zachary Taylor Reginald Bonk (@ZakyTbaby) reported

    @Thordansmash It’ll bring back some players but at the end of the day there’s just too many options rn for gamers. Cod overwatch GoW Pokémon etc. their problem is when they had a player base they treated us like ****. Some people will happily come back, overs will be hesitant.

  • TempleOfXin xinestill (@TempleOfXin) reported

    @d3mmaw Apex has steadily been declining as much as I hate to say it. Zero content, Season 0 problems still exist today, grabbing their ankles for the pro's at every turn, SBMM is worse than overwatch 1/2. It's just not that fun anymore, despite it having the strongest core BR loop

  • theDilfy TheDilfy 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@theDilfy) reported

    @PaulHic80466580 @Dozibugger Agreed enough to go round. Problem is I guess is how the IWM event has been conveyed. I can't see Fortnite, Apex and Overwatch players attending it, but can see CoD, R6, etc attending. Board and War - gamers have some extent been ignored or more likely not considered.

  • newnamebro newnamebro (@newnamebro) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent overwatch sucks fix the ******* game

  • KylorenTF Kyloren (@KylorenTF) reported

    Overwatch 2 is the biggest lie in 2022 Not only the game is literally the same as ow1 with some changes in graphics, sound and texture+5v5, but devs seems to have so much trouble with frequent updates. Rn the meta is just a mirror monke comp which is a really boring *** comp (p1)

  • zombiebitter The OG DM (@zombiebitter) reported

    All i hear from overwatch is complain, complain, complain. Ive never had a problem with fighting any of them. Yall just need to play better. #Overwatch2

  • GxddessV Gxddess Viv (@GxddessV) reported

    @BlizzardCS when are you going to fix the invite issues for PS5 players on Overwatch? It’s been over 3 days now

  • NyanSox NyanSox💙#BLM (@NyanSox) reported

    Anyone elses Overwatch 2 replays not working/showing up since Sunday?

  • Veiled_W Veiled (@Veiled_W) reported

    @JezCorden @ThunderhornCEO I would give COD to PlayStation if all other franchises become XBOX exclusives. Diablo, Overwatch, Warcraft, Crash, Spyro... ALL.

  • sonksmaybe Sonks (@sonksmaybe) reported

    @SirYarnington I can look past a few stupid skins here and there but this is just ridiculous. But my main issue why I stopped playing is some of the operators they added. It feels like I’m playing Valorant or Overwatch at this point with some of these gadgets and abilities. Such a shame really.

  • losertrinity trini 🕊 (@losertrinity) reported

    overwatch competitive ranking system truly makes me never want to play the game again. so ******* broken

  • _TheHood__ TheHood (@_TheHood__) reported

    Is anyone else having a issue with OverWatch 2 me and a friend are trying to play on console and we can’t join each other @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent

  • rowanlmao_ rowan luh BOO! 👻 (@rowanlmao_) reported

    has anyone had the problem on overwatch 2 where your game crashes and says “rendering device lost” and if so how fix

  • auraaver aura (@auraaver) reported

    Are we being gaslit? Yes it’s a live service game but unlike an MMO , the expansion doesn’t delete the older gameplay, nor change the name. Can we legally get a refund? I want my $20 back. 2/2 #Overwatch #overwatch2 @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch

  • MogMoira Dr Moira O'Deorain - Minister of Genetics, Oasis (@MogMoira) reported

    @KitsuDonuts "A lot of people in Overwatch had loved ones in the war. So a lot of bereavements were reported to active service personnel. I would take them and glide down the barrack halls like the angel of death through Egypt. If I stopped at a door it meant grief and pain."+

  • BrizGz gz briz (@BrizGz) reported

    @CoreyHikari @NextGenPlayer I’m even hoping that this is one of the 10 live service games they aim to release in the coming years. I’d rather Sony’s 1st party devs focus on high quality single player games than these garbage Fortnite and overwatch wannabe live service games.

  • albedomp3 JUPITER IS A CH’EN HAVER (@albedomp3) reported

    the problem with liking overwatch tweets is that i get actual real overwatch players on my tl

    @SICKLYSCIENCES but it was made for the brunette's issue. In there she couldn't disappear. It was made when she got the accident in the first place. After some minutes Angela walked out with the broken device on hand. She stared for the moment at the taller one "You saved an Overwatch —

    Overwatch please fix your cross play and matchmaking issues or i will kill myself

  • phomarciam phomarciam on tumblr / phomarciam#0882 🐀 (@phomarciam) reported

    @werewolfwebsite GOD LITERALLY back when i played overwatch i NEVER turned voice on once bc i was terrified of bullies in splatoon it is quite literally not a problem i think they could add two more options but im not sure what they should be maybe "use your special" ?

  • funkais kai (@funkais) reported

    manifesting the overwatch grouping issue is fixed soon so i can play w him 😩

  • MagicSlinky Magic Slinky (@MagicSlinky) reported

    @mmobomb But it is ok to speculate that Blizzard is doing it to hurt people who can't 'afford a phone' just because it is Blizzard, right? Like you need a PC or a console that can run Overwatch, and power, and an internet service and a home to live in-- ... BUT THE PHONES. Sorry. My bad.

  • solarsh0ckwave solardashockiestwave (@solarsh0ckwave) reported

    Until hot and mercy are nerfed I have no interest in playing overwatch they’re so broken and played in every game how is it not obvious to blizzard

  • LauraM_McKinley taffy (@LauraM_McKinley) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent can someone please send me a customer service email regarding a purchase on overwatch 2 - I have searched online with no luck

  • Squinkii Lucy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Squinkii) reported

    @OverwatchNaeri this game is so ******, how do you have problems giving free cosmetics??? i respect game devs a ton but this game is such a monumental middle finger to overwatch fans its insane

  • KingMandrillTTV Decadia KingMandrill (@KingMandrillTTV) reported

    @CodyColeman03 It’s for sure in a rough spot. But with new CoD, Warzone, and Overwatch being released, the burnt out Apex Playerbase is finding something fresh, I don’t doubt a good portion of them will return. In the mean time Respawn needs to take advantage and work on the issues they have
